  • Title: The effect of taste and mastication on lymph flow in the neck region.
    Author: Thommesen P, Jensen FT.
    Journal: Lymphology; 1979 Jun; 12(2):110-2. PubMed ID: 491736.
    Abstract:
    In 10 out of 12 patients, there was a significantly stimulatory effect on lymph flow during taste and in 9 out of 10 patients there was a significant stimulatory effect on lymph flow during mastication. The stimulatory effect of mastication could be a parallel to the conditions observed in the leg but the stimulatory effect of taste could also indicate an active process perhaps of neurogenic origin.
